Two years ago, during Chelsea Challenge 04, I did an interview with Spencer Windes for a documentary he was doing about gays and lesbians playing rough sports.

The article I was interviewed for–and had pictures taken for–came out in the Village Voice today. Here’s the online version of the article. I’m still going to try to get other pictures from that shoot as well since the one with the article turned out so good.

I just got done with an interview with a Village Voice writer who is doing a piece on the GayGames/Outgames coming up in July. I’m also coordinating with him to get other NYCGHA members who are going [...]

Ok, here’s the weird thing. I hate playing wing because I never feel I do it well, especially the role of the wing while on defense. Yet, last night, I found myself there again playing for the Ordinals because we had someone out last night. I ended up scoring again (that’s two goals in two [...]
